What happened
On the evening of May 4, a B-25 Mitchell departed from Daegu to conduct a bombing mission targeting Wonsan. During the operation, the aircraft was flying at a low altitude over the city when it struck an unidentified obstacle. This impact resulted in significant damage to one of the propellers.
Following the strike, the pilot attempted to maneuver the aircraft away from the target zone. However, the plane became uncontrollable and subsequently plunged into the sea approximately 3 km east of Wonsan. The accident resulted in three fatalities and one survivor among the crew members.
